Abstract

We study the statistical properties of the soft gamma repeater SGR 1935+2154. We find that the cumulative distributions of duration, waiting time, fluence and flux can be well fitted by bent power law. In addition, the probability density functions of fluctuations of duration, waiting time, fluence and flux well follow the Tsallis $q$-Gaussian distribution. The $q$ values keep steady for different temporal scale intervals, indicating a scale-invariant structure of the bursts. Those features are very similar to the property of the repeating fast radio burst FRB 121102, indicating the underlying association between the origins of soft gamma repeaters and repeating fast radio bursts.<br />Comment: 9 pages, 5 figures, 3 tables
